It's not Shanxi, it's Gansu, a small hidden place

🍃You don't have to fly to Shanxi, Gansu also has many dream cultural attractions. 🏯 Haizang Temple, known as the "Crown of the Northwest Buddhist Palace", has a unique charm and environment, and is a clear stream among ancient buildings
🚘 Haizang Temple is located in the suburbs of Wuwei City. Wenlvjun chose to go to this little-known Zen temple on the weekend. The tranquility of Haizang Temple is beyond imagination. Even on Saturday afternoon, there are few tourists, only the breeze and the whispers of the woods

🏯 When I first saw Haizang Temple, it seemed to travel through time and space. The huge four-pillar, three-room, three-story hip-and-gable wooden archway is very imposing and full of unique architectural style
🏠 The temple was built in the fourth year of Taixing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (321), and it has a history of more than 1,000 years. It is now a national key cultural relic protection unit. Haizang Temple has been destroyed several times in history. The existing building complex was mainly rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty and has been repaired many times.

🎈The main buildings of Haizang Temple are distributed along the north and south. There are two halls in front and back of the mountain gate. There are also corner buildings, Lingjun Terrace, Tianwang Hall, Wuliang Hall and other buildings in the courtyard.

🌲The temple is solemn with pine and cypress trees and many ancient trees. Outside the temple is a wetland park, where colorful plants and temples complement each other.
🎈There is also a "Medicine Spring God Well" in the temple. Legend has it that the Mongolian prince Kuoduan suffered from a disease of dragon poison eczema. He went to the doctor and took medicine to no avail, but he was cured with this well water, which was regarded as "holy water". Now some locals also draw water here for drinking.
